hey guys, I know I'm not the only one here, and I have to surmise that I too have my bluetooth headset dropping from time to time and can probably conclude with this - it's the headset, NOT the PPC.

Think about it, your bluetooth has a microcomputer and if not in use for whether 30 mins or 3 hours, it will go into sleep mode, or in my case - turn off. So it's safe for me to assume that over a period of inactivity, and the bluetooth headset is charged and has power, it'll shut down. After some period of inactivity, 2 hours later for that matter, I find I have to turn it on.

Does my theory sound solid, or am I just nuts? I await your verdict guys.

Most headsets will stay on so long as they are connected to a bluetooth device (your PPC). Generally if they loose connection they will auto shut off after X minutes. I have a Plantronics 510 and as long as the bluetooth on the PPC (or base unit) stays on it will stay connected. However keeping the 6700's bluetooth on is nearly impossible. Sometimes the bluetooth on my 6700 will work for 2 hours. Other times only 5 minutes. It will NEVER last all day. I also have a JVC KD-BT1 in my truck. I have gotten in the habit of checking my phone everytime I am walking to my truck just to make sure the bluetooth is on. It drives me nuts when my phone rings in the truck and I cannot answer it through the hands free.

I can see what you mean now, and it's to do with the bluetooth end receiver (phone, truck, wife, etc.) Over period of time it will drop, or decide to reset the wireless bluetooth connection over a period of time. Also I wonder if the higher end bluetooth on the 6800/P4000 devices have better connection stability than the 6700.

Oh well...keep watching your headset connection!

I have heard that the 6800 is just as bad for bluetooth.

crap...I suppose we should wait for the NEXT one...I got my eye on HTC Tytn II.
